I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zillow (Seattle, WA)
Interview
The hiring process was simple; phone screen with a recruiting manager and an onsite interview. 3 former recruiters who had formerly worked at my current company took their time to rant about their experience at my company. There was limited exchange or interest in what I could do, rather they vented about how awful their time was at my current employer. It was awkward and clear that they didn’t have any interest in speaking with or learning about me. Then they called me to tell me they didn’t feel like I wanted to continue my career path. I was surprised they extrapolated that info, given they shared nonstop about how much they dispised my company. It felt like a first date with a person who isn’t over their ex. I had to laugh— it was clearly an example of ‘interviews from hell.’
Hello and thank you for sharing your experience with us. When we interview someone who is in our same profession with shared experiences, we may take a more casual and candid approach in our conversations. We by no means intended to disparage your current employer, and I apologize if that was your perception. With all good feedback, it helps us learn and grow in our practices and approach. My best and thanks again. Annie Rihn
